The meteorologists of the Blue Hills observatory succeeded during the past summer In raising kite to the height of about 16,000 feet, and, as appears from a communication to Science by Mr. 8. P.

Still greater efficiency is desirable, and experiments are being made to determine what form of curve for the lifting surfaces Is most efficient, and also If a lighter, stronger and more easlly-bullt frame may be developed. Steel music wire remains the best material for line, although efforts have been made to-obtain material of greater tensile strength. The else of wire suited to the purpose has not yet been determined fully.

Tbt cabinet was devoted largely to action on the death of Ex-Secretary of State Sherman, and the president directed (Secretary of State Hay to prepare a formal announcement of the death for the official information of the diplomatic service as Is customary in such cases. The meeting also considered the subject of the Cuban constitutional conven tion, and it was said General Wood, brought with him some interesting information on this subject, which was laid before the cabinet by the president. In addition to this, there were a number of matters relating to national politics which the president wished to discuss with his advisors before leaving to-night for Ohio, where he will remain until the night of eleotkra day. i At the conclusion of the meeting It was stated the agreement between England and Germany as to their future policy in China is especially satisfactory to this government, as it Is a recognition of the principles laid down In the Hay note ef July 8 regarding the open door In China, and the maintenance of the Integrity of the empire.

The Deutschland carries away from this port every time she leaves the biggest coal pile you ever see outside of a coal pit. Just imagine 5000 tons of coal stored away In her bunkers, and when she reaches port on the other side She Is nearly empty and ready Cor another pile ox equal oumenmons. "You don't know what 600 tons of coal represent. To understand it Just follow one of these big steamers from the time tfcey warp np alongside of their pier until they sail again. Before they have oiscuargea a aosen passengers yon will find on the ODDoaite side of the nler coal lighters in preparation.

They come down the river five and six. and eight hundred-ton laden, and when the steamer is se cured to tne aock tney wlli begin, to pour their canoes of coal Into the brink- i. ers of the steamer. It Is a carious and interesting sight to see the coaling of the steamer. Of course there are points of view more interesting than others.

Down on the lighters the men are shoving the coal into the iron buckets as fast as they can. and when each backet Is lull it swings up into the air and depasl Its load Into the black hole that leads directly into the steamer's bunkers. This is monotonous work, and It begins and often ends with the coming and going of the ivaiucr. ion coai must an do stowed away before the next sailing, and the days are i sometimes few between trips. The faster the trips across the ocean the horter the time in port as a rule.

Thus the Deutschland, with her marvelous record for time, will make half a doxen mors "'vu. year man ine slower steamers, She has to work aa hard a a a ram hAA. snd the strain on her machinery and hull must be tremendous. She Is driven vauuug across cne ocean at mil speed, and not even machlnorv n.n forever. Of course, in the winter season she will have a little rest, and her Wgh rate of speed will not be main- t-LAicu, uui auring tne traveling season to and from Europe she cannot afford to lag.

She- must show her speed continually until some faster steamer Is built to reDlace her. Soalln the steamers Is done by gangs of men employed specially for this chirf: ef. iten work in different lSl' f'-lltJand dT- The work begins t0 trouble if an accident; should occur. if. for Instance, there was a strike among these men.

With ther juwuuuuB coai capacity, they axe still Just able to carry enough of the fuel fSK88. tae ocean on time, and have vtr Xona for accidental delays. The three American Liners have a storage capacity of about 4500 tons, and they consume ou each trip between 3300 and 3700 tons. That leaves them a bare margin of 1000 tons for any unexpected delay. At their rate of consumption of about-650 tons per day they would not nave coal enough to carry them over two days beyond the time limit.

Of course, fn the eTent of an accident at sea, they would proceed under slower headway, and their dally consumption of coal would be less, but If they were for any reason carried far out of their course they would come panting into port on i the seventh 'or eighth day with starvation almost staring them In the face. "The Deutschland can carry over 6000 tons of coal, but, then, she is a bigger consumer of fuel than any other steamer when -he lg reeling off her 23 knots an hour. She burns all the way from 600 to 800 tons of coal a day at such times. In a five days' trip she would thus burn nearly 4000 tons, and In her fire and a half fully this amount and a little more. Her margin of supply for accidents la, therefore, not large.

"The coaling of these big steamers is followed by dirty work below decks. When the coal la tumbled Into the bunkers, the coal trimmers must prepare It for the firemen, and distribute it to the different This is an unpleasant work, and the men who labor at it are as black as the ace of spades. The Oceanic i has over 1500 feet of railroad track running between the coal bunkers snd furnaces, and nearly half a hundred coal trimmers to distribute the coal fuel. Then there are sixty or seventy firemen who receive the coal from the trimmers, and feed it to the fire. The work of either class of men is hot, suffocating, and Quite dangerous to all save the strongest.

The thermometer down In these unventllated coal bunkers thinks nothing of registering 120 and 130. Even in freezing weather outside, the men. nearly suffocate witn tne heat. Even near the furnaces where forced drafts and ventilation keeps things roaring the atmosphere is more than torrid. Both coal trimmers and firemen cannot stand It many hours, and a watch for each has been legally fixed at four hours.

In summer the work Is so fatiguing and difficult that even then the men frequently faint and have to be brought up to fresh air. -r "It Is a strange thing, however, that the ail-trlmmer and firemen are permanently injured, and they stick to their trade for a lifetime. They can drop down from the effect of the heat and recover in half an hour and return for the next -watch. It doesn't seem to have any permanent effect on their constitutions.
